my dad kept it quiet and it was devastating when he died. i felt he did not trust us enough. i would tell and give those left as much time as possible to come to terms with it. it may be easier for you to keep it quiet but at the end of the day you will be gone and it is the ones who love you that will carry on living without you and have to cope with it. |

"id have to agree with you there mally"
id stay quiet about it, i suppose it depends how strong you are. my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer and she just gave up there n then she lasted 3 yrs. i think if i was diagnosed i wouldnt say anything then as it got closer if it was something lie my mums would serously think about taking a overdose. it may seem the cowards way out but for the last 3 months of her life i watched her suffer and its hard wouldnt want thatfor any1. anyone who as had someone with a terminal illness will no what i mean  |

i think its more a case of he was thinking about you, wanting to spend what time he had left being treated normal. loving you enough not to want to put you threw it aswell |

my dad died of cancer, mom died of advanced diabetes and heart disease.
Both my brothers are diabetics, but i'm fit as a flea.
Because of my family medical history, I have a 6 monthly health check, blood test, urine test etc. Up to now everything is good. Doc says I probably haven't got the bad genes that are blighting my brothers. Sounds strange to me.
I keep expecting the Doc to say "we've found something in one of your samples"
But I'm ok for another 6 months at least

My father was ill for months and in and out of hospital for the last six months of his life. My mum had cancer and lasted six and a half weeks from diagnosis to her death.
Both deaths affected me equally, because you were 'waiting' for them to die.
Another close family member dropped down dead of a heart attack, no warning. Although the death affected me, it was easier than a lingering death. |

I would try and do as much as I could without saying a word to anyone,that is if declined any treatment to prolong life
But there would come a time when its going to be obvious to those closest to me that something was wrong |
